I did NOT imagine Okamoto going to the Jays. He’s my favorite bat coming out of Japan this winter but I see him at first and DH — not third. The Jays already have a pretty damn good guy at those spots. Curious if they see him as a third baseman.

Sense from the Blue Jays front office the last few years has been they wanted to keep trying in free agency even though it was getting tough always finishing outside the running.
Toronto is now definitively a destination. That’s clear as day.

MLB teams believe Okamoto has a higher floor than Munetaka Murakami, who offers tons of upside but has questions about glove and K%. Okamoto’s contact ability appealing & he has power.
Defensively, have heard Okamoto is an above-avg defensive 1B. Can play some third, too, & OF.

You guys can't successfully make felony charges stick against people hitting federal agents with objects on camera! You think you're gonna get up and say "Your Honor, just give me this one!" and walk out with a W?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
